This hotel is a magnet for families, since it shares a waterpark with another property. The staff was OK. No one seemed to be enjoyed their jobs. We had to change rooms, because the one we were first assigned was across from the elevator and ice machine, in spite of our asking for something quiet. The second room was somewhat... More

We stayed 2 night exploring Mt. Rushmore, Custer State Park, the Black Hills and the Badlands. It was a great base to wander through the area. The first thing, they have a free shuttle to and from the airport. When you get to the baggage area at RAP, look for the "Shuttle Express" and say you are going to the... More

This is a great hotel when visiting Rapid City - we stayed our first and last night of a hiking advenure in Badlands, Black Hills and Mt Rushore. Great hotel for kids as the water park is attached. Breakfast was better than average with two staff members busy making sure all items were available and restocking. Comfortable nights sleep in... More

We stayed at the hotel for a night to enjoy the water park for the day. Great opportunity to take a break and nap with the kids then hit the waterparkWe again in the evening. Everything is great, requested a fridge and one was brought to my room. So far so good! Hitting breakfast in the morning then back to... More

As Marriott members, we always try to locate one of their hotels for our stays. This hotel's location worked well for our visit to Mt. Rushmore, Custer State Park, Wind Cave and The Badlands. We reserved two rooms for five nights. The hotel is approx. 30 min from Mt. Rushmore, Custer and Wind Cave, and approx. 60 min from The... More

Our goal was to see Mount Rushmore, and as Marriott Rewards members the only choice of hotels for us was the Fairfield Inn & Suites. After reading some of the reviews about thin walls and noise I was a bit apprehensive, but figured that for one night we could put up with any problems. We went to see Mount Rushmore... More

We were able to "move" into the Fairfield on Wednesday and checked out on Sunday! We stayed in a King Suite, and all 5 of us had plenty of room. Housekeeping kept our room in tip top shape. The Front Desk personnel were very friendly. My only complaint when staying the same hotel is that they serve the same breakfast... More

A very nice hotel with large clean rooms. Very modern looking with fridge and microwave in room. Small living area off of bedroom was a nice touch. Employees I encountered were all very friendly and helpful. Only negative was that the walls are super thin, could hear the folks in the next room talking at a normal tone - had... More

We stayed one night here, what a mistake. If you value you sleep quality, find another hotel that is not attached to a water park. The place is pretty noisy, so many kids, and rowdy teenagers that have no consideration. The room next to us was full of girls who decided to party the whole night. Now i know its... More
